nobody knows what their tax rate will be. so companies who can put off hiring are putting it off. >> if you were to advise the romney camp because they're counting on stumping on the bad economy, bad job growth, all of that, what would you advise them right now? would they need to recraft their message? stay away from it? how do they capitalize on their message and at the same time, not contradict what the latest numbers and indicators are saying? >> well, mitt romney is right when he says the economy is not recovering enough, but i think he's got a problem which is that when people sort of intuitively feel things getting better and they hear a candidate who keeps saying things are not getting better. things are not getting better fast enough. he comes off as a gloomy gus. so i think the best thing romney can probably do is we know he's going to continue telling us what's wrong with the economy. he's generally right about that. he should start talking about some of the positive proactive things he plans to do to really reinvi
